Chapter 55: Autumn Whispers
Li Hong is his young son in Li Zhi's eyes, and he needs to be taught at any time, don't let him go the wrong way.
In Wu Mei's eyes, Li Hong is a hairy child who wants to stick to her all the time and enjoy a little maternal love.
In the eyes of those civil and military ministers, Li Hong is the future of the empire, a small sapling that needs to be repaired from time to time.
However, when Li Hong's immature words came to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, when the Dadu Protector learned that His Royal Highness, who was about to become the crown prince, needed to find something called shallots, and deliberately drew a picture of immaturity.
A cavalry contingent of eight hundred men left Khotan.
Since the four towns of Anxi can't find what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs, since this thing is called shallots, presumably, it is in the green ridge, right?
So the cavalry went all the way west, killing and asking, until at last they learned from a little king who had been captured alive that this thing should be in Little Boru.
At this time, the cavalry, which numbered less than five hundred, turned around and slaughtered Little Bolu.
They turned into robbers and burned and plundered in Little Bolu, looking for the shadow of the shallot, until they burned a city to the ground, and then learned the whereabouts of the shallots from the frightened lord of the city.
It was August, and it was planted in the fields outside the city, boundless and green.
It was only the thick bulbs of the shallots that were blocked by the dense onion leaves, and they didn't notice it......
In order to prevent the young crown prince from having another whim, these people plundered all the plant seeds they could find along the way.
When they returned to Chang'an with these plant seeds in person according to the instructions of the prince, there were only less than 300 horsemen of the 800 cavalry.
When Li Hong saw the real shallots, as well as the shallots seeds, and all kinds of plant seeds that the vicissitudes of life had offered to him, he was both happy and very ashamed, because as a poor prince who was even overgrown with weeds on the walls of the East Palace, he did not have enough money to reward these warriors.
After being reprimanded by his father and his mother, the impoverished Prince had no choice but to go to Naha, and finally borrowed 2,000 yuan after signing a loan treaty that humiliated the country, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave all the rewards to these warriors.
He was afraid of treating these warriors lightly, and he also trained all these people into his own prince six rates, although the prince six rates at this time were only six hundred.
Since this incident spread in the army, the government soldiers in the border states of the Tang Dynasty have all expected to receive the prince sect with immature words.
No matter how outrageous and unbelievable the content of the prince's teachings is, they have enough courage and perseverance to complete it.
There is no way, the young Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given too much, even the soldiers of the Western Regions Mansion who laughed at the eight hundred people at the beginning, when they learned that all the survivors in that group of people had been trained into the sixth rate of the prince, their eyes were red with envy.
Not all government soldiers are qualified to be trained into the six rates of the crown prince, and the six rates of the prince today will be the emperor's personal guard in the future.
This is the practice of Datang. @η²Ύε_δΉ¦ι... j_h_s_s_d_c_o_m head. Hair. More. New~~
As government soldiers, after they are killed, the identity of the government soldiers will be replaced by the sons and nephews of the family, and these sons and nephews will also follow the roots and seedlings of that team and enter the sequence of the prince's six rates.
In the eyes of Emperor Li Zhi, this matter is just a child messing around.
In Wu Mei's eyes, this behavior is a stupid thing that a child does without getting enough attention from his mother, but deliberately messes around and wants to attract his mother's attention.
Of course, the more than 500 soldiers who died on the way to find the shallots did not attract their attention, after all, this was a very small matter for them, and it was not worth paying more attention to.
What they don't know is how much their son, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, has paid for this trivial matter that is not worth mentioning in their eyes.
And the most tragic price is that you have to run while giving Naha a target for a slingshot......
And this is only an insignificant one of the loan contracts that humiliate the country.
Li Hong took out a red-skinned shallot, slapped it in Naha's hand, and said, "As long as you store it in a cool place, you can store it all winter. The best thing about this thing is that the yield per mu is very high, as long as the fertilizer can keep up, it is not uncommon for an acre of land to be four or five thousand catties. Even if a farmer only sells one copper coin for a pound of shallots, he can collect four or five yuan per acre of land. Therefore, we must treat the treasure that we have obtained at the cost of more than 500 human lives, otherwise the blood of those warriors will be shed in vain."
Naha looked at the shallots in her hand, and then looked at Li Hong's unique Danfeng eyes, she was very moved, so she held the shallots and said, "Okay, I still have a lot of land in my house, I will help you grow shallots, and I don't want you to return the two thousand yuan."
The corners of Li Hong's originally straight mouth curled slightly, but he insisted on putting on a resolute look on his face and said, "The eldest husband has a daughter, how can he break the contract halfway. As you said at the beginning, your money was not blown by the wind, but by the hard work of many merchants in the Western Regions in the Gobi Desert, and this money will definitely be returned to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Naha's ear was grabbed, and Naha said angrily, "How dare you deceive me."
Li Hong said blankly, "Where did I deceive you?"
Naha roared, "As soon as you start lying, your ears will move, just now, your ears moved, and you said, what are you lying to me?"
Li Hong, who was originally depressed, was stunned for a moment after listening to Naha's words, and then said, "Actually, this kind of shallots don't have such a large yield."
Naha smiled and let go of Li Hong's ears and said, "I know you're bragging, for your pitiful sake, two thousand guan will be written off. I won't have to hit you with a slingshot in the future, my sister-in-law said, you are the prince, you can't lose your identity."
Li Hong smiled: "How embarrassing that should be......
Naha pouted and said, "If my sister-in-law wants me to ask you a word, you must answer me honestly."
Li Hong sat up straight and said, "Okay, if you ask, I will tell the truth."
"You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and if you want money, there is a way, why do you have to ask me to borrow money?"
Li Hong smiled, "Because only by borrowing money from you, there will be no trouble."
"Isn't there any aftermath? I remember I wrote a lot of the conditions on it."
Li Hong said: "The conditions you come up with are all things that I can do by myself, let you hit me with a slingshot, I can become more agile and steal wine from the palace, this is not difficult for me, call you Sister Naha, this is not a condition for me, I usually shout like this." As for helping you copy scriptures, I think I'm practicing calligraphy, and I help you go to scare people together, I also like this thing, since I became the prince, it doesn't mean anything at all......
Naha sat on a bench, flung her legs and asked, "What would someone ask of you?"
When Li Hong heard Naha's words, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said hatefully: "They will ask to stuff people into my prince's six rates, they will also ask to send their own sons and nephews to me as companions, and they will also ask me to bring their little lady into the East Palace. And none of these things are something I can agree to. They all think I'm too young to understand this, but they don't know that I'm young, but I'm not a fool at their mercy. Sir has always told me to be smart, to be smart, to be smart, and I remember that they would not try to lie to me!"
"But, I think it's stupid for you to get shallots, and if so many people die, you can get some seeds, oh, and a few shallots."
Li Hong smiled, "Are you stupid?"
Naha said, "It's stupid."
"So, do you think the Imperial Ancestor is also a fool?"
Naha thought for a moment and said, "I heard my brother say that your emperor is the most powerful emperor in the world."
Li Hong pulled out a pineapple from the vegetable patch and put it in Naha's hand and said, "Do you think this thing is valuable?"
Naha looked at the pineapple in her hand and said, "It's not delicious, it's not worth much."
Li Hong said with a smile: "When I was studying "Taizong Huiyao" with the Taifu, I read that in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the Nibora people presented pineapple vegetables to Taizong, and Taizong was overjoyed and rewarded with ten thousand gold. Since the emperor can happily reward the Nibora messenger with ten thousand gold when he gets the pineapple, it means that the pineapple is very important to us. I have brought me shallots from thousands of miles to the soldiers, which has proved that they are loyal to me, and I naturally want to take the opportunity to include them in the sixth rate of the prince and become my personal soldiers. My husband once told me that how much money you spend on talent will definitely be doubled in the end, and you will earn back dozens of times." Since the emperor can reward the mud Bora envoy with 10,000 gold for the pineapple, I can reward the Tang warriors with 200,000 gold, and give them official positions, so that everyone is envious, and everyone knows that as long as I respect Li Hong, I Li Hong will live up to it. Let everyone know that although the prince is small, he has a voice."
Naha looked at Li Hong depressedly, and once again she felt that this child was stupid.
Obviously, he only asked him a casual question, and he answered directly yes or no, but he said a lot of things there, as if he was very smart.
Fortunately, I still remembered in my heart that my sister-in-law wanted her to be nice to Li Hong, so I waited for Li Hong to finish muttering.
As soon as the last word of Li Hong's words landed, Naha jumped off the big bench and climbed on the back of the black horse, and said to Li Hong: "It's getting late, I want to go home, otherwise my sister-in-law will scold."
Li Hong said in a loud voice behind him, "What's the matter with you, why don't you listen to what others have to say before leaving."
The black horse was as fast as the wind, and Li Hong ran to the door, only to hear Naha's voice coming from a distance: "Next time, next time, next time."
Listening to this, there was no sincerity at all, Li Hong stomped his feet hatefully, and after saying most of the words, he held it in his heart, which was very uncomfortable.
It's not that there is no one around him who wants to listen to him, and those who are willing to listen to him can fill the entire Suzaku Street.
However, Li Hong wanted to talk to Sister Naha, and only by talking to her did he not have to go through what he wanted to say in his head.
You can be happy, say whatever you want, say whatever you want.
